When the XO starts up, it begins a cycle of searching for connections as follows:

School Server Mesh Access Point Mesh Portal Point Link Local

It always searchs in this order, and there isn't a way currently to tell it to do anything different. However, you can tell it where to start

By creating the file /etc/NetworkManager/mesh-start, containing the word "infra", it will look for the last access point it was connected to.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start the terminal activity2. enter: su -3. enter: nano -w /etc/NetworkManager/mesh-start4. Step three will start a text editor. Once in, type the word "infra", and then hit ctrl-x. Hit "Y" to save, and you are set!

This may help a lot of home users who often only use one access point, and don't need to look for school servers first.

I tried this a few times but when I typed in the command a text editor did not open, just a long list of commands. When I hit ctrl x; the whole thing just closed up and left me back on the desktop. Now the cycling seems to be happening all at once. The mesh, the internet blinking simultaneously but nothing connecting.
